   ruins. (1.) One of the royal cities of the Canaanites (Josh.
   10:1; Gen. 12:8; 13:3). It was the scene of Joshua's defeat, and
   afterwards of his victory. It was the second Canaanite city
   taken by Israel (Josh. 7:2-5; 8:1-29). It lay rebuilt and
   inhibited by the Benjamites (Ezra 2:28; Neh. 7:32; 11:31). It
   lay to the east of Bethel, "beside Beth-aven." The spot which is
   most probably the site of this ancient city is Haiyan, 2 miles
   east from Bethel. It lay up the Wady Suweinit, a steep, rugged
   valley, extending from the Jordan valley to Bethel.
   
     (2.) A city in the Ammonite territory (Jer. 49:3). Some have
   thought that the proper reading of the word is Ar (Isa. 15:1).

	AIR. That fluid transparent substance which surrounds our globe.
     2. No property can be had in the air it belongs equally to all men,
being indispensable to their existence. To poison or materially to change
the air, to the annoyance of the public, is a nuisance. Cro. Cr. 610; 2 Ld.
Raym 1163; I Burr. 333; 1 Str. 686 Hawk. B. 1, c. 75, s. 10; Dane's Ab.
Index h.t. But this must be understood with this qualification, that no one
has a right to use the air over another man's land, in such a manner as to
be injurious to him. See 4 Campb. 219; Bowy. Mod. Civ. Law, 62; 4 Bouv.
Inst. n. 36 1; Grot. Droit de la Guerre et de la Paix, liv. 2, c. 2, Sec. 3,
note, 3 et 4.
     3. It is the right of the proprietor of an estate to enjoy the light
and air that will come to him, and, in general, no one has a right to
deprive him of them; but sometimes in building, a man opens windows over his
neighbor's ground, and the latter, desirous of building on his own ground,
necessarily stops the windows already built, and deprives the first builder
of light and air; this he has the right to do, unless the windows are
ancient lights, (q.v.) or the proprietor has acquired a right by grant or
prescription to have such windows open. See Crabb on R. P. Sec. 444 to 479
and Plan. Vide Nuisance.
